Lay It On Me - Vegas - I think I did a pretty job of getting the streaks to show this time. They actually looked better in real life.
Nubar - Peacock Feathers - What an unbelievable duochrome
Moodstruck - I can't stand that these don't have names!!! This polish is sooooo damn pretty. It is one of the prettiest polishes I have ever put on. It got compliments everywhere. But sadly, it doesn't change colors :c( There is maybe a itty, bitty change, but not enough to deem it a mood polish.
OPI - Radiance + OPI - Turquoise Shatter - This cracked the best on my thumb. I did a thicker coat and I like it much better than the rest of my fingers.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!

OPI - Blue Shatters: Swatches and Review
If you aren't digging the crackle trend I am so sorry because OPI has released three new blue Shatters for us. I think they are all gorgeous. I actually gasped when I opened the box and saw them in person!
Turquoise Shatter - This one was the one that made me gasp the loudest. This is a glowing, lit up shimmer shatter in a cool, turquoise color. It is a bit translucent so I showed it over white to show the true shade and over Petites - Daze which let the green and the intense shimmer show through.
Blue Shatter - This is a cobalt shimmer shatter. Shown over white and Sinful Colors - Cream Pink. This one looks a bit faded on the nail. I think I thicker coat would have been better.
Navy Shatter - This is like a navy jelly that is obviously blue and not black. I have it here over white and a mint: Nicole by OPI - My Lifesaver.
I love all of these shades but I would since I like the crackle trend. I can see how if you don't like it, you aren't going to be a fan of these polishes. As far as crackles go, they are fantastic. OPI really has the formula down. They do look best, and wear best, with a top coat.
These are out now. What do you think?!

Glam Slam France Part Deux
Hello! I have the other set of OPI - Glam Slam for you today!
Rally Pretty Pink - This is a mauvy, pinky, purple with very strong gold shimmer. It reminds me of Zoya - Faye but I haven't compared them yet.
Red Shatter (shown over Rally Pretty Pink) - This shatter is awesome because it is a sheer, jelly-ish crackle as opposed to an opaque creme crackle like most are. It allows the shimmer or glitter in your base color to come through a bit. I like that because I feel uncomfortable using a creme crackle over a shimmer or glitter, but having that translucent property makes me feel better. :c) I also thought I would feel uncomfortable about this crackle combo, but it actually does look nice.
What do you think?
